Brandy is making a beeline for the the Billboard 200 next week. The singer’s ‘Two Eleven’ LP was released this week to much critical acclaim.
Now, with a day’s sales under its belt, the first projections for the set have been released. And it looks like Ms. Norwood is on course for a high placing on the tally.
Details after the jump…
According to Hits Daily Double, the ‘Put It Down’ led album is poised to debut at #2 on next week’s count, with sales of…
65,000 – 70,000
Country star James Aldean is presently in the lead with his LP ‘Broken Bow’. The LP is set to open with blockbuster sales of 385-410k.

Granted some sects have been anticipating more, there are a number of facets to consider; the most prominent being that it’s an R&B album in 2012 (hence is impressive given the context) and that she has many a promotional stop left to go before the week’s end. These include Good Morning America, Wendy Williams, Bravo’s Watch What Happens Next, and more. So, there’s every chance – as seen with Pink last month – for the estimates to be revised higher.
And in the event they don’t, hey slow and steady wins the race, right? Given the nature and genre of the album, Gold is a reasonable goal-post, one Brandy could and should reach should the promotional push remain consistent over the next few weeks and months.
For now…

no! but hopefully those big promo pushes at the end of the week may push it at leat over 85k mark. even tho HDD is RARELY (and i do mean rarely) off the mark!
B****…Whatever. Brandy is a flop. Period. I love how TGJ is trynna defend this b**** lackluster anticipated album sales. Let it had been Rihanna though, they woulda been all over her ass. And the reason I know is because set aside the fact that Rihanna DRAGS Brandy in album sales (averaging about 170,000 in her first week), TGJ still be all on Rihanna case about not having a #1 album. Yet they try to defend Brandy? This b**** ain’t even gon’ break 100K.
Why are you a hater! And remember you got a Mother and Grandmother and probably sisters! Why she gotta be a B****!!!What if yo mama was called a B**** in that manner! How the f*** you know what Brandy will sell if you aint a fan then STFU!!!It seems like you are a fan of RiRi so go post there Stupid ass little Person you are nothing you probably sitting behind the screen with dirty as socks with a nasty ass House!!!!!
Go by #2Eleven Bum as individual!!!!!
Don’t be like that Rihanna loves Brandy she was inspired by her so don’t do that I understand your frustration with this website because they are completely disrespectful when it comes to Rihanna but Brandy shouldn’t have to suffer because of that
Well, if she is a flop i wish more artists would make flop music like this.
YUP!!! TGJ is always trying to shade Rihanna!!!! They tried to shade Rihanna new single “Diamonds” which hit #1 on the R&B charts! This week “Diamonds moved to #11 on the Hot 100 a few weeks ago. If Rihanna sold 65-70k they would be shading her but . If Rihanna was selling 65-70k they would say Flop!!! Brady’s new album is gonna flop and 65-70k is horrible!! TGJ always try and talk about Rihanna never having a #1 Album but Brandy has never had an album Top the Billboard 200 either!! But they will say she doing great????/ B****!
look here dumb ass… rihanna doesnt take a break and is always shoving trash music down the publics throat. let that b**** take a break and see how relevant her ol’ female Ne-yo lookin ass is. Rihanna is garbage that has a sub par voice and cant dance. get with the program. Rihanna will never be Beyonce, Mariah, or Whitney. Brandy can atleast sing well. what does rihanna do well besides get slapped and go back for seconds… F*** outta here wit ur ol band wagon ass… if u wanna continue this hit me up @all_i_amis100 and you can get destroyed some more trick.
Not good- Monicas last was similar numbers, yall called New Life a flop too. Both #1 on Rnb, lower on 100 chart, and under 80.000
🙁
KELLY ROWLAND SOLD MORE THAN THAT
77K
🙂
66k! It sold 66k!!! FLOP!66k!! It sold 66k
FLOP! EVERYONE KNOWS THAT IF YOU DON’T DEBUT AT NUMBER ONE YOU’RE A FLOP!
But back to the REAL WORLD, Im surprised she is selling that little, how odd.
Then I Guess Rihanna Is The Floppiest B**** Of Them All? -_- Boii Pick 1

Haha! How many seats can you offer someone? The Colosseum could never! True tea, sip it and shush!
that poster was being sarcastic
hahahahahahaha!!!! I over here dead!!!!!!! Brandy i brought a copy might go get another one!! This cd is F—KING NUTS!!!……. Rihanna I won’tt be buying that s*** so don’t ask!!!
*I’m
Oh b**** check R**** out looool
Lol this coming from a Rihanna fan. Rihanna doesn’t have a #1 album. Does that mean she’s a flop?
Catch the sarcasm.
how is she a flop this is a total R&B album no pop sound to it. It’s something R&B needs right now.
Yep…a flop is exaclty what R&B need…smdh. Brandy career ended with Never Say Never…
the fame by lady gaga didnt debut at #1 and still sold 15 million thats far from a flop
i guess no one caught the sarcastic tone, this is why yall need to be on class and not on a damn blog lol !!!!
in
That will b her 6th none number1 album ahahahahah same as rihanna but way better singer looool BEYONCE STILL WINNING!!! Brandy I bough that album and it’s cool
u and beyonce can drink bleach you filthy w****
And break more chart history when the 5th album comes out stay jealous it will b number 1
Hey keep Bey out your salty ass mouth you pissy s*** … Thx
Brandy Never had a #1 album ever.. Can you name it or show receipts ? this album may sound good just as brandy is looking, but not dem poor #’s. lol * shrugs
Brandy is real R&B. She will be remembered forever for her talents. More than we can say for your favorite Rihanna!!!.. One better name me one ballet Rihanna did that did great on the billboard!!.. U can’t!!! This generation wouldn’t know good music to save their F–king life!!!!
You people are ridiculous. Since when did having a number one album validate or confirm the amount of talent or skill any artist has. Let me tell you that there are some incredibly talented artist who have not seen number 1 (and who will never see it, as a matter of fact) but, that means nothing in terms of the depth of their artistry. Brandy’s 2/11 album is awesome… enough said 😉
took pink ten years to get a number one ‘soo what??’ (no pun intedeed
shes still an amazing talent performer vocalist as is brandy
Lol…..damm well hey atleast it’s not nelly furtado type numbers…kii
Sam, it’s 60k-70k.
Oh no!!! This can’t be real?!?! F*** you billboard and all the lazy b****** that didn’t buy this album. I am so upset right now…ugh!

Im sorry it flopped, its ok, these h*** don’t understand that just because something flops doesen’t mean its not still good music.
I know, but its just so frustrating that Pop, country, and rap sell so much while R&B gems sell so little. The album was really amazing too, I am worried that if it sold 65k – 75k 1st week then it’ll go down second, third, etc weeks. Brandy is too talented for this and this album is truly amazing.
I heard that the best track is “Scared of Beautiful” and it was written for Rihanna’s Loud btu she rejected it, do you like tha song?
“Scared of Beautiful” is a beautiful song. I didn’t know it was meant for Rihanna, because Brandy made it her own and she did her thing on it, I mean those runs…..child….they slay! My faves of this album are “So sick”, “Let me go”, “No such a thing as too late”, “Wildest Dreams”, and “Can you hear me now?”
Yes and “Stupid in lOVE” from your favorite album Rated R was written for Brandy. She even has a demo (its on youtube). Imma listen to it right now!
@Benron you a f****** ass lie show receipts PLEASE
Benron, stop trying to drag me into the Navy!?!? I have 97% of the Navi members. Anyways, “Stupid in love” is a good song, but I never knew it was meant for Brandy.
Brandy did a wonderful job, it suites her beautifully. She just made it her own….Thanks Benron for pointing it out to me!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDSFRPQyUHw
Your welcome!
And Im trynA get you and “that b****” back to the navy.
Benron, I was never in the Navi to begin with even though I bought and enjoyed Rater R (still enjoy it ), so you can’t pull me back into something I was never in…..I don’t think I could stand it; I hate too many Navi people. I don’t know anyone who is in the Navy in real life though…I only know one Mariah fan (one of my closest friends) and everyone else is either a trend-follower or stans for One direction and/or Justina Bieber.
I feel like I should recommend something now…hmmm….how about “Bohemian Rhapsody” by
Queens (one of my fave song by one of my bands of all time!!!) I think you’ll hate it though. Freddie Mercury is a true genius artist.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJ9rUzIMcZQ
Girl everybody knows that song, you should try again 😛
Oh Im listening ot it and its getting good.
Benron, many people that I know don’t know this song so I just assumed you didn’t know it as well. I am such a flop. 🙁
Okay, how about “Anytime you need a friend” by the one and only Mimi—-my personal favorite of hers
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Li6vpAMmfw0
Im really jammin to that song by Mariah now, her songs are okay though. I like this one, Its great though!
Listen to this song for me and tell me whatcha think Be honest CUZ I love your honesty.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B50RUXbs-8
This song whether you like it or not evokes some strong feelings because of the meaning behind it, although Eminem’s part annoys me because he screams/shouts and is always forceful. I like it better than the one where its Eminem first then her (part 1). However, I think this song was better suited for Rater R….fits better there with Cold Case love, Russian Roulette, etc….than with songs in the Loud album.
I agree, I cant wait for us to switch places around Jan when Mariah starts promo and you become the crazy frustrated stan lol. And I agree about LTWYLP2, There is a eminem out version though.
I am going to have to do a lot dragging and slashing b****** that come for my fave. I hope Mimi has some amazing music awaiting, hopefully EOM and/or Butterfly.
Ill helpy you drag 😀
Cheers (lets drink to that) 😛
We’ll be triumphant!
So True. SWV I Missed Us “flopped and Teedra Moses Complex Simplicity “flopped”
Bas ass albums.
This Chick Only Sold 65-70 k….. Predicted By HITSDAILYDOUBLE !!! Sold Less than HUMAN her previous record too, oh myyy..
Yikes This A Flop Album.. What Kind Of Comback is this. I Know Monica is Laughing Hard Somewhere smh, Cuz she did 187,00 k her comeback
READ! It’s a “PREDICTION”! how the hell are first week numbers in when the album has only been out for a day!
Basic as f***!
& the precitions are normally accurate too lol .. #UMAD
B****, that was f****** two years ago. This is f****** 2012. Brandy’s Human booked BORING life, have a seat!
Like seriously, monica booked the lowest selling album of her career to date…none of her fans should be shading Brandy, like fall the f*** back and lay low.
u have no proof.. & thats the fuuny part ! lol #UMAD.
#’s are the only thing important besides the music & Branyd #’s are awful, as PREDICTED LOL.. #newlife DOESNT * count it wasnt a comeback album is was a contract album lol *. OH & #NEWLIFE sold Just that much As this #TWOELEVEN will its 1st week lmao, what a shock lol…. #UMAD #STAYMAD #STAYPRESSEDTOO
@ShayShay b**** shut the f*** up, you stan for a b**** with mediocre talent at best. GLOCKica is no one’s vocalist. She’s an average singer who only knows how to sing three notes. And she can barely do that well. Deal with the fact that no one was checking for that failed ass boring album other than her ghetto ass peachstree sweet tea sippin’ c*** friends like yourself. Have a row full of f****** seats and shut that s*** up.
Brandy>>>> glockica
Girl sit your ghetto rachet hood bunny self down some where and stop hating on the queen!!!!!!!!!!!!
we are talking about the POOR SELLS OF #TWOEVELEN..
Not #NEWLIFE.. YEs brandy is talented hon, but what sthe exucs for her STARS not buying her album though ?
Say what you want about Monica, cuz u seem VERY MAD. but her FANS BUY her music.. #THAT IS ALL
@ShayShay And b****, we are talking about the Floppings of GLOCKica. Her most recent album FAILED to sell in six MONTHS what her last album did in a week.
MANica has fell off hard, and you ghetto porch monkeys are so f****** delusional hanging on to your still standing wigs. So f****** late, it’s clear that monocant has low expectations of her own damn music. What a f****** shame! You best pray that she gets her s*** together on this next album or she’ll be dropped!
Monica? Didn’t her last album push like 30k ?
@faf New life sold 79,000 first week.
But this post really has nothing to do with Monica. And stop denying that Monica is a great singer, it makes you guys just sound like haters.
You don’t have to love both of them but just because you have love for the other it doesn’t mean you should tear down the other one. i love ’em both. They BOTH dominated the scene when i was younger.
new life sold 69K first week, not 79K I see you tryna inflate her sales.
I hate when people say… oh your album only sold 60, 000 its first week. As if thats a small number. 60 mutha-freakin people bought a product. thats great! especially in this day and age. why are we so jaded now? How many albums have y’all lame asses sold? As a matter of fact, how many boxes of girl scout cookies have y’all even sold? You’s a bunch of low grade shade throwers.
B**** 60-75k first week sales is Horrible!! Her last Album HUMAN sold 73k and has sold 214k to date!! That’s 4yrs of sales!!!!
Monica did 77k boo boo
but wait look at the difference between her at number 2 and that dude at number 1 makes her numbers look horrible….Smh..
just shows how much black people don’t buy music
We have to do better. This album is worth it.
I agree, its a dame shame too. I love R&B so much. smh. Her album is very much worth the buy.
Don’t laugh at 70k its a RnB album I think brandy will pull 85k
85k is still Horrible!!!!
the album was decent.
honestly most people on this would rather listen to an album that went 10x platinum and sounded like s*** rather than an album that went gold and was a classic.
This is so true, I don’t know why everyone gave you thumbs down. The gays especially are notorious for promoting microwave bubblegum pop hits, but will not support quality music. But it all comes down to the fact that whites outnumber blacks and they have the disposable income to buy albums, just look at the numbers of Country and Rock albums. I’m seeing a lot of black people supporting Brandy on twitter, FB and Instagram. I know this sounds like a stretch to some but I honestly think she’ll be in the low 100,000s. These dismal number predictions just might be what prompt more to hop on the Two Eleven train.
@RymeReason Preach! I pray she do! she deserves it and that album is most def worth the buy.
what are u talking about, gay people generally have a bigger hand in what is actually artistically viable. usually, “the gays” (as you say it) are typically more creative.
GOOD FOR BRANDY …. #2 IS GOOD…… OBVIOUSLY ALBUMS ARENT SELLING AS WELL AS THEY HAVE SOLD IN THE PAST …. WHICH IS WHY SHE IS UP TO #2…
CONGRATS BRANDY!!!!!
SHE WORKED HARD FOR THIS #2 …. SHE’S BEEN PROMOTING IT WELL.
album aren’t selling yet the dude before her is pushing 400k
Country is in a league of it’s own. You cannot compare country to R&B sales. First of all the majority of people who purchase country are white, they outnumber all other races and have more disposable income to spend on albums. Not only are blacks outnumbered by whites, but they’ve been brainwashed by this whole dance/pop craze so some aren’t even checking for R&B.
It’s pathetic to see that you can score a #2 album selling less than 100k nowadays. The music industry is really dead. But congratulations, Brandy! I was expecting like 50k, but she did great. I think the album can sell 150k to 250k until the end of the year if she picks up the right singles and good promo during the xmas.
I miss the days when you had to go out and BUY a CD because the internet as we now know it didn’t exist. Sure, there were CDs I purchased that I regretted, but at least I could trade them in or sell them back. Or, if I was unsure, listen to someone else’s CD before I bought it.
Illegal downloading helped to kill the music industry.
4 some reason i think she might sell more.
umm… you must be a teeny bopper? albums never sold like that until the late nineties and early 2000s. thats where it began and ended.
Black people don’t buy albums or support their own music. Black people see only one artist as elite and that is Beyonce. They will not support any other artist and as a result R&B will die.
Taylor Swift , Adele and most white artist will always do far better because they purchase.
TRUTH. Black people don’t buy albums like they used to, yet they have the cheek to complain about no real R&B but when artist like Miguel and Brandy drop real R&B they don’t support. Theres no hope.
So true. Black ppl are losers when it comes to going out and supporting true artistry. But they’ll stand in line for government handouts and beg a black president to help their asses when they hardly do anything to elevate themselves. I am black so I know what I’m talking about. We have to support our own. There is no reason that R&B should be dead when we have all these talented artists (miguel, brandy, monica, neyo, mario, keyshia, and the list goes on). People are not putting their money where they’re mouths are. All we do is get on these blogs and talk s*** about who’s better and who’s this or that. No one is going out and buy records. Damn shame. Brandy is one of the best there is and it make no sense that she can’t break 500k in the first week.
isnt brandy international ? suddenly her fans are awaiting on blacks to buy her records ? #OpOK… Though she was bigger & mainstream, this worldwide b****, u know ? lol Tuh
She sure as hell has more international appeal than monigger, that’s for damn sure. When’s the last time monigga had a single chart outside of the US? I’ll wait.
What i don’t get is even if the younger generation aint buying it what happened to the generation that grew up with her older music, that helped her shift those six figure album sales. WHERE ARE THEY NOW. If the older generation still supported her she should still be doing very good. Am really disappointed cause Two Eleven is a great album.
You are black so you know what?
What you sound like is 1) either a white or other pretending to be black and saying these things, or 2) a sellout because that generalisation was too much. All races are known to line up for handouts.
Anyway, i feel that a number two album is good regardless of sales because people who didn’t check it out will see how it charted and give it a listen and maybe buy it
She couldn’t break 500k the first week even in the 90’s!!! What are you talking about? Brady’s largest first week sales are 160k!
I can name many white acts whose recent albums performed in the same vicinity as this, or lower. The rest of the top 5 under Brandy is populated by white acts; so…what’s their excuse? Don’t play the race card and put this off on Black folks not supporting their artists. If Brandy isn’t getting the #’s she or her fans would have liked, then perhaps it’s HER team that slacked when it came to promotion. If you weren’t already closely following Brandy, chances are you didn’t even know she had an album coming out. She and her people are the ones who need to step up their game when it comes to promoting her name and music, and engaging music buyers. Seems to me that they just assumed that Brandy is known and beloved enough that they could put something out and it would immediately draw a large crowd. Please.
You know what thats a good point. Guess Brandy needs to hire you on her team.
thats partially the reason…they waited so long to release the put it down video as well as promote it and wildest dreams. she shouldve BEEN doing TV promo.
However, at the same time a lot of what people have been saying is true: us Black people need to support our artists and stop competing against one another (Beyonce vs Brandy). Everyone has been brainwashed into thinking only one artist has to shine or be the most popular. You don’t see white people saying Britney spears shits on Pink, they go out and buy the music if they like it. STOP FIGHTING AND LETS COME TOGETHER. We are truly the only ones who can save music, because they will continue to think gimmicks sell.
All three of yall need to SHUT THE F*** UP SHUT IT UP YOU MOTHAFUCKAS don’t try this s*** don’t try to put it all on blacks rnb is just simply not popular anymore and mainstream are not paying attention to it anymore so yall can kiss my ass you bunch of dumb f**** and white people sells has went down too lets not take it where it dosen’t belong you s***** ass f***
too bad your post is all wrong.
LOL@you bringing up Taylor Swift and Adele (who are both still relatively new and are at their career peak) and comparing them to Brandy (whose been around since the middle 90s and peaked before the turn of the century.)
How many white acts who debuted in 1994 – the same year as Brandy – are doing markedly better than her today commercially?
Sit your ass down with these phony, slanted ass comparisons that you’re trying to stand out a sociopolitical soap box with. Doesn’t work and you’re making a damn fool of yourself trying (and failing) to posture.
@LDC Exactly! Atleast its still good music… If she was embroiled in beefs & her music sucked, then I could see her being dragged but CH!
You stupid f***, not only beyonce sells in first week, Alicia Keys slays her entire carreer, MJB too, Usher too … sit.
Usher pop/r&b lite. Beyonce pop&b, Mary a diverse and loyal multi cuteral fanbase, Alicia – cant comment because i dont really pay her much attention.
Also these artists are in the position were they dont have to promote so much as mainstream radio puts them on heavy rotation as soon as the receive the product
Got My Copy! But i dont see this going gold based on first week sales predicton, maybe copper? 250k
B Rocka Fan 4 Life
lol copper. she lucky she didn’t go triple plastic like nelly frutardo.
You aren’t a fan or even a STAR. Fans don’t throw subliminal shade.
right! wtf!
I had hoped for more but that’s on track with Human. It’s crazy.Human debuted at 15 with those numbers and now this album will debut at #2. Whelp I did my job as.a fan and.bought the album. ;-/
Not suprised at the first-week sales predictions. Brandy is not as huge as she was back in the 90s. This album will flop in the long term. By February/March next year, it’ll be out of the Billboard 200.
and sad to say… no one will be checking for her! U guys need to be honest!
I doubt it, shes on her way to the top and by next year around this time people will be awaiting her 7th album.
How will no one be checking for her next year? She’s returning back to The Game on BET, she plans on touring next year in February, she’s performing at black girls rock in November, she’s even in talks to have her own show again, and she’s got a movie coming out. Trust, brandy will not be forgotten any time soon.
I think im disappionted in the starzevrrybody slways complainin about good music uet yall dont go out and support it wit these avg number and the way they have both tjose missy single flop the way they did snd they were both hot its sad
Brandy…I love this girl…
same predictions as human..smdh brandy stans was laughing and putting monica down for NewLife and look it done cameback to bite them fallen stars in the Ass!!
Least monica can say her comeback made a 187,000 first week and a #1 album on another….brandy will sell same amount as monica last album first week which is a shame cause brandy had a top 10 and buzz around her project which leads me to believe not many people checking for brandy anymore which is sad…and if monica had a hit last album she would have done much better!!!!thatisall…
What steampressed MANican’t stan? Shut the f*** up with your fat ugly t***** looking ass. Yeah, I saw your pics on monica source, you ugly as f***. A monicant stan should be the LAST one to shade Brandy at all! You flop ass fave just booked the lowest selling album of her career! Boring life even sold less than the FLOPPINGs of Me. You better hang on to your deluded ass still standing wig, as monican’t will never EVER see numbers like that again without another ratchet ass reality show, which is the only reason why she pushed some units. Now drink bleach and go bungee jump from a plane without a parachute, ole banjee ass h**!
@BrandStar is soooo mad right now lmao haha..
Immature & mad… tisk tiskl… oh well ! * Whomp, how bout u go buy 100 copies of B Floppas #2eleven , make yaself feel better.
@ShayShay Chile please! Some greasy ass Peach street coons from MANica’s camp can NEVER have me pressed! If no one’s checking for Brandy, then monica was already an afterthought, not even being thought of! I bet you slum village hood rats be posted up on Sandra Rose. Poor f****** you! How about you go but 50,000 copies of FLOP life?
Yea, monica did come back. She made a huge come back. But where is she now? last I heard she’s in the studio working with the exact same producers brandy are.
B**** shut the f*** up!!! Monica was still making hits last decade while Brandy was Flopping and Got dropped by her label!!! Took Brandy 3 albums to finally get a top ten hit on the R&B charts in 10 damn years!!!
People need to buy this album.. I’m in the U.K. and I ordered my copy from amazon, soley because I can hear the effort she put into the album.. I know some fake-ass fans aren’t even going to buy the album..
the album is good…
I went to target and bought mine. Right now the song “Do you know what you got here” is on repeat. She did her thing on this album.
A TRUE FLOP!
sadly yes… as much as i love brandy her album did flop BUT lets look at the bright side at least it sold more that nelly furtados new album cause childdd!!!!! dont even get me started with that hot mess smh *rolls eyes*
A lot of you f*** who are posting all this negative hate towards Brandy cannot stand the fact that she is getting so much attention and love from not only the general public but from other artists and celebrities who are tweeting about her and are proclaiming her UNMATCHED VOCAL TALENT. Like India.Arie tweeted “People sometime mix up popularity with GIFTS! @4everBrandy is a GIFTED vocalist hope the era brings the popularity she wants.”
Brandy might not push the numbers that the play-for-pay “artists” push but it’s pretty much known that her music is a force to be reckoned with and she will not sell out for a cute microwave pop hit. She sticks to true RnB and you cal thank the other sell outs for killing RnB. Lets see how many of todays acs are still relevant and making quality music 20 years from now.
IKR! What is it that these dudes on here have against women trying to make it? geeez….
Preach double R!
What you mean Relevant? Brandy hasn’t been relevant since 1999!!!! She already having to make a comeback and has failed!
I love Brandy but I predicted this would happen. I think she got a little too big headed. I love her confidence of course and she’s talented as hell but these days you release straight up R&B because its not whats popular right now.
At what time did she get big headed? She stayed humble during this entire promotion and has only spoke with confidence that she was delivering a solid piece of work.
i dont think she got big headed , but i will say that for example on the breakfast club when they told her about “possible the album not doing good ” she cut the guy right off and said “dont say that” my whole thing is how do you want people not to say that if your team is not pushing you as hard and the promotion is not that good and you realease a song and take forever to realease the video ? i love her stage precense and her confidence and sass is there but everything else is not!
Please give me examples of the “big headedness” of which you speak? Everyone knows that Brandy is THE most humble artist out there. You lie when you say you love her, you don’t even know her.
Say that s*** Double R!
How is she BIG headed? You sound like a straight fool.
get the f*** outta here
She came out and sold hefty for the climate. Go Brandy! It’s a great album.
gurl it’s a flop
No way you can honestly refer to those figures as ‘hefty’ no matter the climate. Maybe you could have gotten away with ‘decent’ considering the climate but ‘halfway decent’ based on the climate is an even better, more honest/accurate description.
Y’all can’t say albums don’t sell when the dude before her is selling 400k smh black need to buy their black artists music if they want them to succeed point black period,
people*
THIS ALBUM IS AMAZING & IT SAD NO ONE SUPPORTS REAL SOUL/R&B anymore! JUST SADDDDDD…….I am highly disappointed, BUT BRANDY’s PR team sucks, she should have been performing on MTV AWARDS ^ AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS, she needs a full concerto n GMA & she needs to hit up ELLEN, THE VIEW & ALLLLL NIGHT SHOWS, come on nahhhhh, I know ya’ll got $$$, this album is toooooo dang good to sale this low, I AM VERY HURT BY THIS, JUST SAD!
Chart position doesn’t mean anything at this point you can sell 40k and go number 1 it’s all about how many units you push…
Now brandy fans are all upset. I bought the album but most of her fans probably were broke as ever. Stay shading. Up next is xltina I had it with her fans a week ago and I am waiting. What goes around comes around.
totally agree with you…. people need to start putting their money where they mouth is… brandy fans are so fast to call everybody haters and a bunch of other things but thats all they do sit behind computers and go around disrespecting everybody who is not a brandy fan or anybody who expresses their honest opinion BUT when it comes time to support and purchase the album all the brandy stans go in to hidding!!! thats some b*******!!!
Chile u aint never lyin! Brandy fans was throwing mad shade at Kelly Rowland and she even managed to sell almost 79-80k 1st week with Here I Am. and she didn’t do no promoting. I’ve been waiting for these #’s to come out! But I do wish Brandy nothing but the best and I hope her project does sale atleast 75k 1st week. It is a solid album but so predictable coming from her. Her entire album is full of mostly ballads accept for put it down and like another song. Brandy fans do not blame management, brandy, or even Beyonce for the lack of her sales! U guys r the 1s tht should have put your money where ur mouths at! Maybe next time this will teach u guys to stop shading other female artists 4 not reaching their full potential….
Grrrrrrrrlllllllll you better go innnn
It’s her teams own fault. They haven’t been aggressive with the promotion of this album. For the month leading up to the release, Brandy should have been everywhere. She should have been at the VMA’s, she should have been on all the night time talk shows. She should have performed on some big primetime reality show. There should have been specials on the music channels. There should have been Billboards, magazine ads, etc., etc. Instead she’s been doing piddly appearances with Tom Joyner and whatnot. Brandy needs new management. I get the sense that her people now are basically struggling to get her booked. She needs a manager who is a promoter and basically a snake who will barter, proposition, connive, threaten, blackmail on her behalf.
Maybe she should hire Matthew Knowles. Look at what he did for his daughter’s career.
Oh you mean like Matthew Knowles, he’s done a lot of back stabbing, blackmail, threats, plagiarism, pay-for-play, and a host of other illegal acts and lies to foist her upon the pedestal she is on today. Oh did i mention he even pimped her out to a woman beating “ex” drug dealer and murderer?
You are too real!
Ooooh chile. So much for that comeback.
Anyway, if you’re looking for a REAL album New Life is still in stores.
Oh my the icy shade
Chile, even you don’t believe that LIE! Her own fans didn’t even buy that lame ass s***!
have several seats…
new life dropped out of the 200 after 6 weeks…
Naw it was on for ten weeks
I can’t believe a whack ass raper like 2 Chainz can out sell a R&B legend like Brandy in first week sales. Makes no sense. People will buy hip hop but not r&b
Beyonce did that
Okaay lol
Farfetched, exaggerated, reaching, aggrandizement, *insert any synonyms* are a few words to describe what you just said. -_-
You Beyonce stans got jokes, but tell me something, has B paid Desree back the money she stole from her when she illegally released her Kissing you cover.
Has Rihanna been for her weekly h***** check up?
And has Monica found a way to make music that doesn’t sound like struggle itself.
Brandy will start out slow but this album will be a SUCCESS in the long run because of the positive vibes surrounding it.
SHADE! SHADE! SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADE!
LET THOSE FOSSILONCE STANS HAVE IT TODAY!
Lmao, a brandy Stan calling beyonce a fossil? B**** brandy Flopped Huge, TWICE IN A F****** ROW. Lmao, the hive knows how to push units, almost all the Stan bases don’t. Lmao, Rihanna, Brandy,Monica,Britney (not anymore anyway) only other loyal Stan bases are Adele,Taylor, And Gaga. So when Human sells 300 K then come for Bey.
THEM STARS ARE MAD!!!
WE GOT KING B TO 1.2 MILLION….
AND 300K THE FIRST WEEK WITH A THREE WEEK LEAKED ALBUM…
WHAT HAVE YA DONE FOR YOUR QUEEN BESIDES GIVE HER 70K AND A NUMBER TWO SPOT AND A FLOP ALBUM…
B**** BOOM!!!!!!!!!!
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL it doesnt count!!!! I added an extra ‘baby’ and a vocal run so i co-wrote the song!
Rihanna’s ‘Diamonds’ shoots from #18 on the BB Hot 100 to #11!!!

What do you think will happen to Rihanna when she misses out on another number one album because of Nicki and Slaykeisha.
Don’t laugh too hard Hive.
How long has it been since B had a number one single again? Oh that’s right.
*blasts Put It Down
gurl u pressed ain’t the navy fault she flopped better point ur fingers at beyonce and her hive of ghetto followers who stole ya girls shine yesterday
Rishitta top #s were 180-200k
Keyshia low #s are over 100k
Nicki low #s are 225k
how is Rishitta slaying them?
“slaykeisha”‘s last albums debuted with 100k, and We all know nicki’s flop!
Nicki’s flop? hun?
Her LOW numbers were 225k !
Let’s not with Rishitta’s debut sales!
B**** when was the last time brandy had a hit? 1998? Lmao, when was the last time she had a number one album? oh right, Never.
B****, Put It Down hit #3 on the R&B/Hip Hop chart, and #70 on the Hot 100. Not bad for someone who’s been off for almost 4 years.
@branstar you know damn well I meant number one hit. She hasn’t had one in over a decade yet, y’all wanna discredit beyonce? Stfd
When’s the last time COPYonce hit number one? Sasha flop? Oh, yew mad?
LOVE ON TOP WENT NUMBER 1 FOR 6 WEEKS ON THE R&B CHARTS…
4 WENT TO NUMBER 1 WITH 300K IN THE FIRST WEEK…
AND SOLD 1.2 MILLION COURTESY OF THE BEYHIVE…
BRAND ROVER AND 7/11 WONT MAKE IT TO 300K…
TOO BAD
HAHAHHAHAAA!!!
BRAND ROVER NEEDS TO DRIVE YOU AND ALL OF YOUR FELLOW CARZ OFF A CLIFF TO FLOP HELL…
Not quite the Still Standing numbers Monica pulled BUT loving this Two Eleven album from my other fav Brandy..
I really hope she breaks 100k this week. She deserves that. Those over a milli tweeps best step up. I need more sales from the starz, barbz, navy and hive..
I just know rihanna stans aren’t trying to throw shade. Let’s not forget she looks up to Brandy, and wanted to make an album like the classic Afrodisiac.
This is why some people just don’t like your faves. Always gotta come for someone else’s fave for their struggles, and want people to respect your own. Yeah f****** right.
how is rihnana fans laughing you need to pick that s*** up with the hood hive cause i for one bought the album..
I see some rihanna stans trying it, and that s*** is not cool at all, it will not do. Let’s keep it real cute.
Coming music fans.
This RnB movement needs more support. This album and its superb vocals shouldn’t be gaining 70k.
Support the enjoyable music !
I really wish my deluxe cd counted toward billboards but I’m from London .
Come on USA
#STARZ UP
Rihanna fans want to laugh do they?
The only place that b**** can get a hit thats not on the singles chart is when shes playfighting with Fistopher.
Don’t ever come for Queen Brandy, she was slaying the tv networks AND charts before your fav knew how to spit AND swallow.
how is rihnana fans laughing you need to pick that s*** up with the hood hive cause i for one bought the album.
Im the only one who even insinuated anything and I was clearly being sarcastic, chill.
And she flopped harder than ever ..
Just what I said! Why can u people who like so much certain artists go and buy their new albums? Specially when they are good like it seems it´s this new album case? I always buy the albums my faves release
It´s incredible the R&B album which sold the most this year is going to be Trey Songs…. isn´t Brandy a bigger star? And better than him in all fronts?
I´m not saying it´s a flop cos we know the current state of the industry. But like I said yesterday, I wish it could be more for some talented artists
And I sure hope beyonce fans aren’t kii’ing too hard, for whatever reason that she had to decide to announce that she’d be performing at the super bowl. Ch, that girl is insecure and clearly doesn’t want any competition.
I bet after seeing Brandy SLAY on stage in the Whitney tribute at the BET Awards, I know she sees Brandy as competition!
ON WHAT PLANET IS BRANDY COMPETITION FOR BEYONCE?!? GET THE F*** OUTTA HERE!!! BEYONCE IS TOO BUSY BEING A MOTHER AND GEARING UP FOR HER EPIC RETURN TO SPOTLIGHT, TO BE WORRIED ABOUT BRANDY. I SWEAR BRANDY STANS ARE THE MOST INSECURE AND DUMBEST STAN GROUP ON THE WEB.
The planet where she decided to announce that she’d be performing at the super bowl the same day as Brandy’s album release.
The same night when she was watching Brandy kill it live on the Bet Awards. You can have a seat now, member of the most deluded fanbase in the existence of life.
Have a row full of seats. The NFL was gonna announce it today anyways.
Proof musty ass c***?
B**** the NFL announced it today u ugly vomit inducing c***. You have fingers and internet. Go type it up u bitter ass h**. I see ur mad your fave flopped.
If Brandy was any competition wouldnt she open with the same #s Bey did with “4”? You really tried.
So, no proof ugly? Sit the f*** down.
i hope flea hive ain’t kiiiing too hard cuz bey’s 5th album might be doing similar #s 1st wk. don’t think it’s not possible.
So an NFL Superbowl announcement is enough to keep people from buying Brandy’s album? Wow didn’t know times were that hard for her.
times are hard for everyone who doesn’t pop their p**** wearing stupid ass body suits and fox tail weaves and use their newborn children to sell their albums. Whoops!
BELIEVE IT OR NOT I BOUGHT 15 COPIES OF THIS ALBUM TODAY FOR MY LOVED ONES BACK IN KENYA AS MY XMAS GIFT TO THEM…CAN Y’ALL STOP F***** COMPLAINING AND GET YOUR ASSES TO THE RECORD STORE AND BUY THIS ALBUM…LET’S GET 100K PEOPLE..PLZZZZZ
15 copies desperate much? y’all fan base is little lol
B**** f*** you, and f*** Kenya!
You should’ve sent them the download links ..
bye
Arent you a fan Monstarebel. I see u abandoned them after your girl flopped.
Fake ass h**.
@ Dossome, Sorry to say that unless you bought them separately it will only count as one copy purchased, just a reminder. And don’t worry, a few other artist had low predictions (Miguel) and ended the week with bigger numbers. I see your support. A lot of people on here have wrote her off already, which is sad. You know what they say, Everyone wants a piece of you when you’re on top, but in the mist of a struggle, they throw shade and seem to fade!
Why is everybody saying she flop.. People like nelly F, kreayshaen, will die for them numbers man. Brandy did better then them two that’s what she got to smile about. Monica did good to so why everybody saying stupid s***.
To those dumb b****** who use the ridiculous excuse “Black people do not buy albums” s*** go jump off a bridge.
The only reason mediocre as white h*** like Adele, Taylor swift and Lady Gaga are managing to impress is because the white media backs them with hype and ignores the blacks. Whites took over rock and roll, they’re taking over rap (Eminem is the only rap artist who gets radio hits), and now we’re basically giving up R&B to Adele’s mediocre ass just because they hype her up.
This is not even about quality anymore, its about them being unfair, so… In short I will be buying a lot more urban albums this year. And its stupid to point out pop sells more because it is more because thats obvious. POP MUSIC, will obvioussly sell more than a tiny sect of music.
b**** it’s the truth I never heard of james Alden yet his n**** is selling bigger than most pop stars his white fans support and buy his music, black people like to support buy illegally downloading its the truth..
*slayed
Lmao a rihanna Stan calling Adele basic? She splayed Rihanna’s career.
they made this album seem like it was the second coming of jesus!! and in all honesty after listening to the album on itunes its just an ok album its not great.. the songs are just boring and the hooks have no substance, what ever happened to the brandy with the dope beats and super catchy hooks that just made u wanna sing along to her songs im talking about the NEVER SAY NEVER brandy? i have been a huge brandy fan since 1994, but she really fell off… im a huge fan of her’s like u guys are but lets stop making excuses as to why the album flopped… the only two songs that stand out are the two singles that she has out now … and i believe thats why she names the album TWO-ELEVEN cause there was only going to be TWO good songs from the ELEVEN tracks *wink* lol no shade!!
You didn’t listen to the album at all if you complaining about beats.. Bangladesh and Mike Will SLAYED. Yall are so f****** FAKE.
@knuck so because im stating my honest opinion of what i feel i am fake? f*** outta hea!! its m************ like you that are always posting dumb s*** and commenting on peoples post and our opinion is not valid just yours get a life… no i did not like the beats u can not compare the beats on the never say never album or some of her other albums to the beats on 2-11, even her ballads were alot before before…. i listened to the album and i did not like it, and if you dont like my opinion DEAL WITH IT!
i have to agree with you… i my self also listen to the entire album being that i am a huge brandy fan but honestly the album was just ok .. nothing to scream about, i dont know why everybody is saying that the album is a masterpiece because its really not, thats the problem with people nowadays they keep telling their artist that teverything they put out is amazing STOP JUST STOP lying to these singers , we need to start demanding quality music otherwise we are gonna keep getting ok albums sad but true..
Grrrrrl i know thats right Brandys stans acted like this shot was gonna be the cave of f****** wonders. GURL BYE
@jer OKAY!!! honey boo boo childdd!!! im telling you lol the album is just ok and they made it seem like its a masterpiece!! and the promotion and her team are horrible that explains first week sales!!
both of you b****** can drink bleach and choke and a prickly ass d***. Her album is the 3rd highest rated R&B album right after Miguel and Frank Ocean. Shitting on your faves. Stay mad.
Real talk, a monica fan should NOT be trying to throw ANY shade at Brandy. Like at all.
When has she ever had a tour?
When was the last time that she debuted on the Hot 100?
When was the last time that she had a top 10 R&B/Hip Hop single?
Like seriously, her new album has sold less than The Makings of Me, and that was formerly her biggest flop album. Ever worse, Still Standing sold 180k in ONE week. Her most recent album in six MONTHS couldn’t even match that. Pitiful.
Y’all need to humble yourself and lay low. God don’t like ugly at all. It ain’t cute. As much as y’all tell Brandy fans to stop clinging to 1998, well, it’s time to stop clinging to 2010. That era was over two years ago.
Watch it b****, I see you are pressed that Monica’s comeback sold 100k and more first week and Brandy can’t even sell anymore 80.
Maybe Monica should get on twitter and help Brandy with her promo cos we all know Monica’s team actually know what they’re doing.
Shut up, deluded ass b****. DEAD @ monica trying to craft a “NEW” sound because of Brandy’s album, she’s so f****** obvious, she ain’t slick! No one’s pressed from still standing because Brandy and Monica both had gold, platinum, and uncertified albums last decade, so where’s the book? I don’t see the kii. You TRIED that, and failed. Now go take your bitter, steam pressed ass back the the ghetto section 8 slums of ATL where you came from.
all in 2003 2004 & 2010
Toured with Trey Songs
#1 Album on R&B Charts 2012
# 2 Album on Billboard
& 8 #1 singles possibly 9 is im not mistaken.
Um check your facts stupid..
B**** please, she was the opening act for Trey Songz! Monica been in the game how long and she can’t even headline her OWN tour!? Dead at you shading your own fave, I just CAN’T!
Face facts, monica may be a mainstay for R&B listeners, but the reception to her latest album surely doesn’t relfect that. Guess she just doesn’t have the star power to headline her own tour, nor does she have the proper push to promote herself beyond the US borders…SMH, she’s just…local. lmaoo
@ShayShay
Your doing too much. I’m didn’t want to knock Monica’s success, but Brandy has always been >>>>>> Monica.
**’94 Brandy’s debut outsold ’95 Monica’s debut

LMAOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!!! SERVES THE STARZ RIGHT!!! MS KARMA HAS COME TO VISIT. IT WASN’T TOO LONG THE BRANDY STANS WERE LAUGHING BEYONCE’S FIRST WEEK SALES (NUMBERS BRANDY WON’T BE SEEING) AND MONICA’S FIRST WEEK SALES. NOW Y’ALL BACKTRACK AND SAVE FACE, B**** PLEASE!!!! SPARE US THE CROCODILE TEARS.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHA I CAN’T BREATHE!!!!! AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAA I LIVE FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!
Honestly if she came out with the video of Put it down in Promote it aggressively and released a follow up single and then the album late july – August she could of probably sold 100-110k,
I promised 2 buy 15 copies of this album for my family back in Kenya as my xmas gift to them & believe it or not,i kept my word…CAN Y’ALL STOP COMPLAINING AND GET YOUR ASSES TO THE RECORD STORE AND PURCHASE THIS AMAZING ALBUM…LETS GET 100K PPL..FORGET THE HATERS
BRANDY KNOWS NOT TO RELEASE THE ALBum NEXT WEEK, BECAUSE SHE KNOWS NOT TO GO UP AGAINST QUEEN TAYLOR SWIFT!!
TAYLOR SWIFT’S NEW ALBUM IS OUT IN 5 DAYS!
PRE ORDER NOW.
Go die
My god *sigh* how her bubblegum deuces chart, I don’t know.
@Peter Griffin Because her music is amazing, thats why people will be buying her album in their thousands when it comes out.
The music event of the year is but 5 days away.
Taylor swift’s album red.
idk either but shes doin her thang, cant hate.
Her album consists of songs about breakups with the millions of men she slept with, no thanks. She should keep that s*** private, we all know she’s a h** now!
LMFAO! U r right about that but Brandy is much more talented and plus Kanye West kelped tht bich when a Grammy!
@Diva Pffttt Brandy isn’t more talented then Taylor swift! I cant even name a brandy solo single.. and what shes been making music for 20 years?
Someone name me a well known Brandy solo single? sorry but 20 years making music and no signature song.
This is why i dont blame Nicki Minaj for selling out because black dont support there artist like the white does..this makes me sick because this album is beast and should have push more units. The death of music and it aint the artist its the lazy ass fans. Watch the same will happen to Kelly Rowland so much claim they fans but they bootleg your s***..
Co-Sign
Correct me if im wrong but didn’t Nicki sell MORE before she took the pop route?
when did she not take the pop route?? shes been pop ever since her first album…she aint been hip hop since her mixtape days
False. Black fans were the ones who got Nicki Minaj a double platinum debut album. Then she sold out and flopped so now she’s re-releasing that flop album to gather the coins that her record label lost with producing the album. The reality is, the album just isn’t good. Take brandy away from the equation and ask yourself, if someone else made that album, would you buy it?
STOP ACTING LIKE U KNOW THE QUEENS SALES F***!
MONEY IS EARNED OFF TOURS AS WELL!
NICKI BEEN PAID BACK YMCMB FOR HER ALBUM
IT IS PLATINUM WORLDWIDE !
COME AGAIN, N***** !
What you said.
THE QUEEN BOOKED (DURING THIS ERA) ….
PEPSI ENDORSEMENT
AMERICAN IDOL
MAC AD
2 TOURS
SO WHERE’S THE FLOP???? ALL I SEE IS WINNING!
My rule of thumb now for artists is if you’re not selling albums you better sell some singles!
Thata true. SOME people know artists who slay singles and sell decent albums. meanwhile their faves barely move albums and then dont sell singles so gtfo
she lucky she didn’t go triple plastic like nelly frutardo.
LOL!!
I thought somebody already said that joke…
I hate the RnB excuse, no one forces these artists to release RnB music, not a single soul. Kelly Rowland had higher figures and she had the #3 spot, Brandy should do better. Here’s hoping the album has longevity. Why stick to this genre when many RnB artists are struggling to even reach gold. With the exception of Justin Bieber, Usher, Chris Brown, Trey Songz, Frank Ocean Connor Maynard are all struggling to reach even gold. RnB is a dying genre, abandon it or innovative.
Brandy stans coming for the navy yet letting the hood hive and there b**** beyflop get away with ruining her album release date yesterday beyond tired dont want brandy to take her rnb crown…. beyonce will do anything to ruin another black girls chance at the spotlight
Look at Bran Star silly behind up there. Kiiiiiiiii What? The Superbowl announcement was sittin’ on the record store shelves next to 7/11 and people decided to pick that up instead of your girls LATE ass cd?
The music is STALE honey. She’s musically stuck in the 90’s, and if you were any type of REAL fan you would let her know how stagnated she’s been since Afrodisiac.
That’s what the fukk you Stars get. Clowning Monica for thee longest. Then had the mf AUDACITY to come for Bey… as IF Brandy could EVA.
pfft.. you betta hop y’all broke asses on over to Dave & Busters and support the b****** next performance.
Oh girl, no one’s got time for your weak ass. Face fact, your girl in an insecure mindless, brainless robotic fembot with no personality. She’s bland, she’s boring, and she’s uneducated. Check her interviews. Hopefully beyonce will take a break long enough to actually make a decent album like Brandy did. Take notes beyonce!
And no, as far as music goes beyonce could NEVER! Kill yourself, d*** riding, b*** munching f*****.
brandy fans will have a chance to laugh when bey’s next album flops. 1st wk #’s will be lower than 4.
Oh yeah, her star power and popularity has already declined with rihanna around. Compared to Brandy, beyonce just had her “Full Moon” era, next era she might pull and Afrodisiac!
LOL Full Moon era? Not when Full Moon booked 156k first week. Not to mention the whole I’ze married nuh guys fiasco. stop it. Except your defeat and move along. Or better yet, fight for Bran and go buy 10 more copies of Two Eleven. She needs your monetary support, not your irrelevant words.
Surprised that the 1st week predictions are so low. I saw at least (or was hoping) 210,000 considering Monica’s “Still Standing” come back album was 184k and Brandy is bigger. This is worse than Kelly Rowland’s 3 albums…
Don’t know really. Since “Put It Down” has risen Brandy HAS been doing a lot of promotion that Kelly DIDN’T do. So therefore if she keeps it up, (as Kelly didn’t) she may have a slow seller on her hands and not a non-seller…the former is better than the latter.
Since this album has many tracks she’ll need about 5 good singles (with videos, no questions asked) between now and next summer to keep the album afloat. That’ll probably help get it to the “Gold” mark.
Lmao you thought she would do 210 k her first week? hahahahahahahahahaha….gurl sit _/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
Yeah, I did! Kinda thought with all the buzz….I thought like MJB she doesn’t do well on Hot 100 but DOES do well on Album Top 200. Oh well, we’ll just have to see.
I wasn’t expecting these numbers, this strikes me as very odd. To be honest, I can’t understand why this decade seems to be so unforgiving to so many superstars that have had flourishing careers in the past. The decline really baffles me, but I’m still proud of Brandy and this project. I think it’s a phonomenal piece of work that really showcases Brandy’s unique talents. Most of those people getting satisfation in seeing an artists like Brandy “fail” should ask themselves if their fav even accomplished half as much. There’s a lot of living in the past here and if starz decided to alot of favs really would be slaughtered. Anyway, I’m not interested in feeding into that or entertaining the narrow-minded. This era isn’t over yet and there’s a fight on our hands (those that love Bran). Don’t give up and ride for her if you want her to succeed. She’s not giving the sam eopportunities that some lazy artists get today. It’s life and we’re used to working twice as hard as our neighbor sometimes to win! I wish Bran luck and I’m going to stand behind her whether she get the sales or not. Stanning for numbers is not the business!
http://www.thepagewithroyalkev.com
*phenomenal
http://www.thepagewithroyalkev.com
Bran Star I really expected better of you. U so busy slagging of other and not focus on who you should be, and thats Brandy.
As much as u go hard at Monica she sold with her so called most important comeback album, with 180+k. Thats 100k more than Brans prediction.
THAT’S NOT THE POINT THOUGH. FANS NEED TO SUPPORT THERE FAVS BUT PUTTING THEIR MONEY WHERE THERE MOUTHS ARE!!
Its not about a contest, its about the music and quality of it.
BUY BUY BUY TWO ELEVEN! DON’T MISS THE QUALITY TONES OF BRANDY.
I love her and Mo and support both PERIOD. Strong vocalist with different qualities in sound.
Excuse me, do I know you from somewhere?
Yeah, I like monica and all that but I do tug at her wig sometimes….It’s nothing personal, just to get back at her stans for trying Brandy.
Some people are so f****** dumb.
I told y’all that album is wackkkkk!
Human >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Human made me a fan .. I loved her!!
But now? gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr bye
TwoEleven shits dry, red, clay bricks on that album!
Forever/Flop
Wtf does race have to do with anything? There are more whites in the hood,projects and trailer parks. There are also more white receiving welfare than blacks. You b****** are pressed and mad because brandy can’t sell an album on the first week to the point where you’re trying to play the race card. When in fact your dumb asses don’t know what you’re talking about. I told yall come next week you all would be mad. Stop making excuses. Beyonce’s announcement didn’t have s*** to do with anything. Noone was here for this new album except for the brandy stans. Beyonce pulls in an average of 300k per album in the first week. Rihanna,Chris,Trey,drake,Wayne,jay,kanye all do atleast 100k. Enough with this bs.. Brandy is going to flop because she is past her peak and because her stans are annoying. Vocal bibles shouldn’t flop. Same with “voices” because Christina will flop also. So stars and jealous ass navy tune in Feb 13th!! Brandy might get some tips on how to actually slay. The only thing brandy slays is the bottom of the charts lol.. Monica fans can’t say s*** either it still did better than new flop…
well , I’m NOT surprised tho , because of the following reasons which can be applied to any album that belongs to the same genre as of ” Two Eleven” :
1. this album is a comeback album of a BLACK R&B FEMALE artist. now you can guess what i want to say when i typed them in caps 😉
2. the album is R&B , no matter what you gonna say , R&B is not HOT as it used to be and kind of fading internationally ” not in your neighborhood” because of the lack of support from R&B Lovers and them R&B artists going after the mainstream pop to get the easy hits [ name your fav R&B artist in here]* .
3. Brandy’s LEAD single ” put it down” is a STRUGGLE and average listener will find a difficulty in supporting it normally , the music video came MONTHS after the song was released , so how can u support such single unless you are a Stan of her ?!
and let’s not get to iTunes and it’s release date in there …. 🙄
4. she didn’t perform the lead single in well-known platforms like when other artists do ” see gaga reveal BTW at the grammy’s for example”.
so i appreciate she stayed real to her artistry , but we all knew this gonna happen, the music scene is not the same anymore , we are in the age of “LMFAO” and ” gangnam style” 🙄 , and considering she’s black and doing R&B in 2012 …… i salute her attempt.
[*] : some R&B artists stayed away of doing easy POP songs tho.
I agree, but its hard to swallow especially since Trey’s songs new album did well….
At the end of the day people have to respect that this is a career.
Yes they’re musicians and artists but this is their bread and butter. Love them or hate them they have families to support, children to feed, a life to live.
People want to hate on Adele for singing SOUL as if she stole something from someone, but the fact is she’s singing beautiful music and she managed to be very successful at it. I’m sure there’s a dozen reasons Brandy’s sales are so low but the reality is they are low. Imagine if this was a new artist and not Brandy who’s been in the game for years? Their career would be dead as a result.
Frankly speaking something’s gotta give. People always b**** and say music today is terrible but then they don’t support the music they claimed was better. If you really claim to love R ‘n’ B then you HAVE to support the genre otherwise it WILL die out.
Artists need money to live like everyone else. If they don’t make that money then they aren’t able to make art either. Real talk…black R ‘n’ B sells to black people. If black people don’t buy Black R ‘n’ B…shrugs shoulders.
Nobody bought it because it lacked in promo. Im sure the only ones that even knew about this CD were bloggers and her hard core fan base.
Its disappointing because the cd is good! Such a shame that crap gets a bigger look in these days… No wonder people head down the pop route! At least she stayed true to herself i guess, nobody can take that away from her.
I predicted her to sell around the same amount. Usually the sells are accurate from these guys. She can possibly pull off 75k to 80k by the end of the week. I don’t think any higher… I happen to think tht Good Morning America doesn’t really help blk r&b artists, Most of the audience are older & white. The only show I think could help her is Wendy Williams.
Two Eleven is a instant classic! & for a RnB record in this day & age these numbers are quite impressive!
Y’all must be smoking something if you think Brandy is gonna open with 100,000+ records slod. Brandy is boring and she brings nothin nw to thee table. She’s a good vocalist but thats it. How do you expect to sell by only releasing one moderate hit? She didn’t really start promoting this CD until last month. She really dropped the ball ob this one. I downloaded this album and tbh I didn’t like it. Her last album.was a looot better.
She needs to take notes from my gurls Keyshia Cole and Monica.
Sold*
New*
On*
Damn all these typos!
What can she learn from them? How to make, dry, boring, predictable R&B? Brandy makes experimental/progressive R&B, and she should not be compared with her contemporaries. She has her own sound, her own niche, her own lane.
Yeah… it’s called the 90’s
Y’all this might be one of those album that sales consistently. This isn’t a flop. She’ll probably push a little more than whats being forcasted anyway. Congrats on a very good album Brandy.
Based on the mean of the prediction figures I’ve worked out that Brandy will sell only 20.45% of James Aldean’s sales. I like doing math but this is sad news.
Two Eleven is an AMAZING album
so can we take a moenet and admit that this album have everything anyone want in an album but in a classy way ?!
my fav track in it :

#FLOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
B****
Wow I just read and saw a lot. But WTF y is beyonce and Rihanna in this. I guess cause they the biggest black stars. Beyonce cause she “stole the spotlight” and Rihanna is considered a flop and people call this a flop and Rihanna stans wanna shade. And y Monica but they always been compared I guess. Rihanna can’t be called a flop by Brandy stans and vice versa. If Bey’s announcement can EVEN steal Brandy’s shine then that’s ashame. N dont come 4 Monica. Y’all saw her at Bet awards she can sing….SANG!!
Like I stated in a previous post, I do NOT care about sales or chart positions. Brandy came and slayed every artist who released an album this year and the ending quarter of 2011 with Two Eleven, and she should be damn proud regardless of what the public is into right now. The album is phenomenal!! #Period
Brandy came and slayed every artist who released an album this year.
LMAO!, b****, like really.
Yeah b****, really.. It’s a consistent album, zero album fillers and no songs with meaningless one word repetitive lyrics over a gay club beat, tired of the same sh*t. This won’t appeal to the general “gay” community aka S****** Blonde, it’s for real music lovers of R&B.
3 flops in a row for brandy…least monica gets it right every other album and sells Gold!!!
And an EPIC flop for monigger, she’s gonna get dropped if her next album flops!
With the help of a reality show, Monica was able to get 180k. Keyshia had good album sales because of a reality show. However, her last album did not do that well because she did not have a reality show at the time. Woman to Woman show do ok because of the reality show on BET now. DO you see the power of reality shows? I am happy but disappointed in the album sales, but it’s cool. I got my on I tunes and friday I will purchase a physical copy!
last album that Monica actually sold OVER 500,000 was After The Storm in 2003. So where are YOUR receipts?
You people are hilarious. You wake up, pull out your phones and pray your internet hasn’t been cut off yet so your broke A** can hit up TGJ, and other blogs to throw shade on black artist who are very successful, and that you all should be supporting. I bet a lot of you were praying she sold under 100k simply because you cant seem to grasp the concept of someone who’s been through a lot making a come up here on planet earth. People said her, monica, christina, and others careers were done, but look. They always seem to bounce back on you broke simply pathetic losers. Even Ciara still trying and I don’t blame her. It’s called simply, “not giving up on a dream”! How can you say any R&B artist is a flop at 70-80k copies when it clear that Rhythm & Blues is fading right before our eyes. Beyonce’s 4 sold over 300k if I can remember and you all labeled that as a flop. How is that a flop? Stop hating and get on these women level, because they seriously aren’t thinking about you hating a** gay dudes, or you pressed women on here!
I don’t think any fans should be arguing because the fact of the matter is, EVERYBODY is struggling. No artist today that was relevant at least 7+ years ago is selling the same amount of records they used to sell. This is not “the music industry” it’s an economy issue.
If half of the people on this post weren’t able to comment unless they bought the album, this post would be empty. That’s the issue, now a days fans would rather sit behind a computer screen and argue with one another instead of taking that time and energy to buy your favorite artists music. No one would argue if you guys just supported.
I don’t think anyone expected blockbuster sales for this album. Just because it’s her “comeback” it does not mean she should be selling like crazy. She has to gain her fan base back first and foremost and I’m not talking about the fake fans who only support on twitter. As long as she continues to push this project, she will eventually hit gold or close to it, which is a success for an R&B album. That will set her up for success when she releases her next album and so on and so forth.
The problem is everyone wants immediate results, that’s not reality. It’s simple, put your money where your mouth is & support the artist.
Someone said something about people buying into rap but not R&B, but guess what? Hip-Hop fans support their artists (Drake, Lil’ Wayne, Jay-Z, Kanye, etc.) You don’t see their fans on here arguing with one another, they buy the albums. Point blank period. Maybe you guys should be the change you want to see.
Anyway, this is a great album and that’s all that matters in my eyes. She worked extremely hard and it shows. I’m proud of her and regardless to how many albums she sells it’ll still be one of her most critically acclaimed albums, which matters more than anything else. GO BRANDY!
Plus the album is great!! I enjoy it and so do her fans. She delivered and I don’t give a damn that the homos on TGJ are pressed because they can’t flail their wrists around to her album at the gay club lol! Wasn’t made for that sh*t.
“and I’m not talking about the fake fans who only support on twitter.”
pls repeat that for the folks who act like tweets = album sells
the predictions use to be lower.
It happened with Monica and Miguel recently.
So Im expecting more than 75k.
And even if she doesnt sell more on first week, this album has the potential to reach more than 500k in its full run, much more than what Human did to date.
You guys are seriously arguing about chart positions and sales who cares Brandy’s album is amazing every track, just get over it why do you only have to be a fan to one artist and ya trying to call it a flop but have any of you guys sold any records lately? NOeveryone of ya sound pathetic
She should have had two or three pop-ish songs on the album, at least to plug as singles so as to push the album off the shelves. She should have called Alexandra Burke and told her ” I want goodnight goodmorning back so I can put it on my album”. I like two eleven but the music business is a business. You cannot waste the label’s money like this, the label also has to pay its employees who also have families to feed and mortgages to pay. Artists should now realize that the 90s is long and gone, time to start researching and find out what sort of music is selling and how you could incorporate your sound to that. The music industry has changed a lot, we are in the iTunes generation were someone wont necessarily buy your album but simply buy the songs they like. In this generation, there’s also a lot of music that an album in excess of 12 songs could be deemed boring, especially if it’s the same sound.
Ciara better consider overdose and Living it up as her next single choices if she wants to at least have a chance. Kelly Rowland better also have some dance numbers on her upcoming album. Race has nothing to do with it, even Nelly Furtado flopped, it is simply the music and the artists arrogance of not realizing that they’re in a different generation. Artist better start researching because the industry has changed a lot.
idk why this was disliked cuz ur totally right. gone r the days wen ppl bought cds cuz they had no choice but to if they wanted to hear the music. u gotta adapt to the times or else u will flop.
u said a mouthful …. *cheers i’ll drink to that”
Kelly Rowland had dance numbers on her last album and still flopped!
“She should have had two or three pop-ish songs on the album…”
I stopped reading after that. No she shouldn’t have, because it’s not what her core fan base want to hear from her. People like Usher, Chris and I predict Ne-Yo coming up, have proven that trying to manipulate the buying public with albums that are half pop-pandering and half R&B-obliging doesn’t stimulate sales. It’s disingenuous and everyone knows it. Long time fans feel like they’ve been sold out and damn near boycott…and in the meantime, the “new generation” doesn’t pick up the slack. They might casually buy the pop-pandering single for a buck and a quarter, but won’t buy that artists album for ten bucks. And high single sales don’t make up for a flop album.
Point blank: when artists throw their core fan base under the bus in order to appeal to what’s trendy and “right now”, their career becomes a ticking time bomb. The of-the-moment fans who were won over because the artist played follow the leader are fickle and can’t be depended upon for the long haul.
If Brandy had put out some cheesy bubblegum dance/pop single, she might’ve scored a top 10 single (that would have aged disgracefully) and radio play, but she still probably would have sold the same amount of albums.
It’s the people who loved “I Wanna Be Down” and “The Boy Is Mine” who will have bought tickets to see her in concert, and will always hear her out when she come out with a new album…not the kids who will buy something that sounds like LMFAO because that sound is hot right now.
child cheese Brandy stupid ass f** fans really thought this tired queen was gonna push units with a b******* ass song on the radio and a bad lace front….. yall really need to have several seats … you starz are just as shady as brandy and you all are getting exactly what you deserve. wanna diss Nicki, Beyonce, Rihanna, instead of buying Two Eleven aka the apocalypse … lol we laughing at u b****** lol yall will be lucky if she goes “Toilet Tissue” with this album…. 1,2,3 think do the Nicki Minaj blink
B****, shut the f*** up! It was stans of beyonce, Rihanna, monica and others starting s*** in this post! They saw the predictions and wanted to throw shade and cosign others for some laughs! You b****** ain’t no saints, and you aren’t exempt from that f**! Now go play with a loaded gun.
LMAO @ your comment AJM265!
I cant, your post just slayed everything!
yaassssss!!!! go the f*** awwfffff!!! honey!
DEATH, WEEPING
Lmao Yaaas
@ajm265
LOL! I can’t! LMMFGDAO!
Her team is dumb as hell for releasing an album mid month. Release it at the beginning of the month, or very end of the month when folks get paid!
Not everyone’s on welfare! smh
True. There’s nothing special about mid October. They should have pushed it back further to the Xmas shopping season. Overall, I blame these low sales on her team and management. These numbers could have been better had they been more strategic and aggressive.
RCA has bigger artists, so they’re not going to make promotion of Brandy’s album the companies biggest priority. Plus they’re still basically trying to get organized after all the Arista/Jive/J artists they inherited. I think they went ahead and haphazardly put out Brandy’s album now because they didn’t want to push it back yet again and have it hang over their heads. In the meantime, her management team seem totally confused and ineffectual in promoting her. And I think her previous failed efforts before this one has shaken Brandy’s confidence to the point that she herself isn’t being much of a whip-cracker when it comes to making sure the people she has working for her are grade-A and on their game.
The album is off to a bad start, but I think it’s still early enough to save it if they act fast…the window of redemption is very small. If Brandy and her team don’t do something dramatic and very soon, it’ll be curtains.
It’s good for a R&B CD ….. get it Brandy f*ck he evil energy from the haters!
Funny how James Adlen’s cheating ass gets over big! 300-400k 0_o?
I always find it funny how the “popular” society claims such moral superiority when it comes to constanly highlighting the faults and missteps of others especially blacks (see Chris Brown and Rihanna Fenty’s 1 fight from 4 years ago that the RACISTS DEVILS are still carrying on about * cough* Weaverly High School) yet when it comes to their WIFE BEATING (see Alan Jackson, Rodney Atkins, Tracy Lawrence, Glenn campbell) HUSBAND BEATING (see Pink), WIFE SWAPPING (see Hulk Hogan and his best friend’s wife), CHEATING ASSES (see James Alden) EVERYONE GIVES THEM A PASS!
B**** no one gives a f*** about Chris anymore, ever since he whooped Rihanna’s ass.and are you trying to make it seem like the ppl you listed weren’t in the wrong, just to make Chris look better?
Mob, Im getting the feeling you’re finally starting to understand Rihanna, its so cool.
for everybody in here bashing and disrespecting us that state our honest opinion on the albums situation YES IM TALKING TO YOU BRANDY STANS!! get cho asses behind the computer screens and go buy the motherfucken album, YES THATS RIGHT close this window and open i-tunes and buy the damn album!! put your money where your mouth is and stop with the stupid excuses!!!!
Shut the f*** up, H**! I bough a standard and two deluxe edition copies. I did my job, what yours? To hate on people that you don’t even know? Are you on payroll? Is you rollin’? I think NOT.
@BRANSTAR CONGRAT-YOUR-F*****-LATIONS!!! B**** IM GLAD YOU PURCHASED THE ALBUM… NOW TIME TO MAKE MORE DELUSIONAL FANS LIKE YOURSELF GO OUT AND BUY IT ASWELL!! AND NO SWEETY NOBODY IS HATING! JUST STATING FACTS NOW D*** BREATH KEEP PROMOTING YOUR GIRL BRANDY SHE NEEDS IT !!!
Ch, where the logic?? What facts were stating? You’re just taking up unnecessary space. Disappear.
@branstar what facts am i stating? are u serious delusional w****!!! the fact that the album flopped harder than flip flops cause of stans that all they do is run they mouth and bash everybody else but when it comes time to buying the album they dont buy s***!! those are the facts sweety!! and did u see how many people agree with me?? look at all my likes on everything i post so obviously i have a point … unlike you just a sad delusional stand that cant accept the reality!! f*** off my post you sad waste of s****!!
Ch, shut the f*** up. You’re just mad saying a whole bunch of s*** just because you don’t like Brandy. Brandy has already won. She has absolutely NOTHING to prove she does NOT need to sell another album. She’s already sold over 40 million albums WW. I’ve already purchased the album, and it’s amazing work, high metacritic score, tenth top ten R&B single in a decade, I say job well done Brandy, job well done keep up the good work!
🙂
*……*
Why is everyone so hung up on first week sales?? I for one don’t care about 1st week sales. Longevity of an album is more important. What if someone sales 300,000 copies the first week and then not much more after that? Will people still remember that first week?
As weak as R&B music sales are these days, I still believe good music will last! This album is getting a good amount of buzz now. It can still be around for the long haul. Stay positive.
You all sound pathetic Brandys album is great but the fact of the matter is she isnt a hot artist and either no one knew she had an album out or no one cared. I love r&b and respect Brandy, Monica, and Beyonce they are all my girls and came in this game young and together to hate on any of those women is wack to me. In my opinion album was solid but her team missed the mark and has to go but at the same time we ar talking about an artist that has 2 previous faile albums and was going through alot we all knew the risk and so did Brandy with her sound and releasing an album. She spent too much time catering to n***** then really promoting like going on wack ass internet shows with corny ass f*** or goin on 106 which over the years went down I mean who really watches that s*** anymore. The fact of the matter is her team missed the mark completely. Now as far as comparing her o Miguel and others well Miguel is a new artist that had little to no promo and yes his singles did well but Brandy is more well known to him so thats not fair to compare the 2. As far as comparing another black woman to her as a blck woman that buys music I think its sad and it makes our people look sad. Monica did her thing when she first came out and pushed units and her and Brandy even worked together again and you all have the nerve to diss Monica smh. What type of hypocrisy s*** is that. Just take this album as a flop and move on making fun of Ciara, Monica and especially Beyonce will not change the results. As far as the hate on Beyonce thi site and everyone was going in on 4 saying its a flop because you were comparing Beyonce to Beyonce but since 4 release no r&b album has scanned total what she did her first week except Chris Brown. She didnt have a hit on Hot 100 but love on top was a #1 r&b hits for weeks and DFU bonus track aifter a year was in the top 1 with PID. The album is currently at 1.3 mil in the U.S. no matter how hard yall try Beyonce wont go away and she shouldnt have to neither should Brandy, Monica or anyone who still wants to make music its not fair shes being treated like that because yall jealous that woman is loved by millions and loves Brandy and Monica. The only way our artist can sell if we band together and stop the stan beef s*** is uncalled for.
Paragraphs are your friend.
Don’t be quick to call somebody’s album a flop until the first week sales for your fave artist’s next album come in. *cough*Navy BeyHive*cough* Better to have a “wait and see” attitude than to get too cocky and wind up having to backtrack and make excuses for why your fave underperformed.
Hits is almost never wrong sad to say and I dont see alot of beyhive in here going at anyone whats the obsession with Beyonce on this site and Rihanna isnt even r&b
P.S. Make sure you’re doing your part by actually BUYING your fave’s album instead of just blogging or tweeting about how much you “love” such-and-such and then in the next breath asking if anyone has a download link for the album leak.
lol EXACTLY!!!! I buy my albums and only support r&b acts I only bought one hip hop album this year and that was GOOD MUSIC but other than that I usually support my R&B divas. My fave is Jill Scott loved her last effort but I respect all these women and it sucks because i stan but i dont disrespect or do the type of stanning where its dissing other r&b women. I’ll diss Taylor or xtina and Britney but not my r&b girls because we are out numbers but as a black woman I hate how we hate on eachother and I hate how these “stans” talk s*** and get mad and defensive when its done to them. Too be honest no matter how ignorant, disrepectful and bullying they can be or do the Beyonce fans have to be the most happiest of all these ladies im pretty sure anyone of them if given the opportunity would trade careers in a heartbeat sometimes I can stand thm because they are right most of the times but she is a undeniable talent and very humble yea RTW sucked but her billboard performance was out of this world and that art of beyonce keeps her in this game.
I refuse to use cutesy terms like “Beyhive” and “Navy,” because they’re stupid. I’d rather be more literal: Beyonce fans, Rihanna fans.
That being said, I too haven’t seen too many Beyonce fans in this – or many – Brandy threads being disrespectful towards her. Beyonce has never been anything but respectful and gracious where Brandy is concerned, and aside from a few sporadic loons, I generally don’t see fans of Beyonce being disrespectful to Brandy. What I see, rather, are immature Rihanna fans in here trying to instigate drama between Brandy fans and Beyonce fans where there is none. And I hope that most Brandy fans are mature enough to not take the flimsy bait being dealt by these 15 year olds.
exactly Brandy has a solid album so the question from her fans should be what happens from this point. I love so Sick and Do You Know as singles. The Sean Garrett track is the weakest on the album but its the only upbeat song on the album. I think her team needs to try getting the songs into movies, tv shows etc like Adele team did for her I know its a stretch but it has to be better way to support such a good album.
You mean the way you stars are doing? Bey’s 310k first week sells was called a flop by the very same people that never seem to buy ALBUMS of their faves. EVEN on Black Friday when they’re 99.. that’s NINETY NINE mf cents. And the same with you all. What’s with all the mouth and no where to be found at Target or on iTunes??? Logic please….
I highly doubt Rihanna nor Beyonce will have first week sales that low they are both global and pop stars their fan bases are strong period Rihanna is interesting to watch becase she has alot of drama and her songs are good and Beyonce post baby is ready to start up again. Her last album did good considering and now shes going back to uptempo tracks neither one is seeing below 180k
Not shocked. You Brandy stans got a cute little top 10 hit and then started feeling yourselves. Talked so much s*** about Bey,Rih and Mo and looked what happened? The real kii is Monica sold around the same amount with no real hits or buzz only on the strength of her fanbase…yet Brandy had a cute lil hit and sold less than her last flop. I could only imagine how much it would have sold without “put it down”. Now what you b****** need to do is stop reliving Brandy’s “glory days” and come up with a plan to save this flop that Brandy is prob going to disown in a few months like she did with Human. Watch!! the b**** is gonna throw Sean garret under the bus like she did Rodney Jerkins,act like this album never existed, and then start focusing fulling on her mediocre acting career. I will admit the album is not bad but KARMA IS A B****.
I do agree the Starz was wreckless this era with Brandy and they start going at stans of women that were still very much in the game instead of aligning with them. They hate on Rihanna but she keeps getting #1 records and sales consistently, hate on Monica but the album before everyone was bumping everything to me and she did sold numbers and instead of focusing on Bran they decided to p*** off alot of stans. Whats even worse they keep going and going and wont stfu and accept this album is a flop. Then to say Beyonces anouncement was a partial reason man yall truly give this chick toooo much damn power and wishing other Black artist to flop is whats wrong with black music in general everyone wants blame the next chick these women love and admire one another and have all spoke highly of each other they need to be mad at her team and the fans.
The numbers aren’t even a deal breaker. Brandy has already won. These numbers aren’t half bad for Brandy, considering that she’d been off the music scene for almost four years. And it was the rihanna, bey, and monica stans who were the ones who were in here starting mess.
Now let me clear a few things up! Beyonce is no longer this generation’s IT girl, she has been outsold (WW) and outcharted by Rihanna, Adele, Lady Gaga, and Taylor Swift have all outsold beyonce this past decade. It’s funny how beyonce stans claim she’s the standard for female artists, but she’s getting dragged by her fox tail weave her damn self.
On to Rihanna. She’s just a walking, living music box. She has no talent at all. She can’t sing, she can’t dance, she’s just a rebellious island girl with a thick accent who makes microwave disposable pop music. She has no choice but to release an album every year to stay current, otherwise she’ll become dated, late, and irrelevant.
Monica saw success with still standing in 2010, but that was in 2010! The monica stans need to let go of their still standing wigs and get into reality! This is 2012! She released four singled from new life and NONE of them cracked the top 10 on the R&B charts, and none of them even impacted the Hot 100. Still standing sold 180K in one week. New life in six MONTHS couldn’t even match that. Brandy’s lowest selling album sold more the 1st week than new life, and overall thus far and it even had a Top 40 single. How sad for monica. This is a lessson, especially for monica fans. Her fanbase can be just as fickle as anyone else’s. God don’t like ugly, and it ain’t cute at all. Let this be a lesson to you all.
This is a great for Brandy considering albums sales for R&B are down. Brandy’s been away from music for years. And let’s just be real and call a spade a spade, not many of your faves can do what Brandy has done. Just be real and ask yourselves, how many of your faves can take multiple four year breaks from music, come back, and still receive a respectable amount of success? I’ll wait, and won’t get many answers.
All these people who tryna shade and hate Brandy can go jump in a river for all I care. She has endured struggles, personal and professional hardship that most of you would NOT be able to overcome. The fact that she refuses to give up on her career and keep fighting is a true testament of God and what he can work through with Human strength. Anyone who has a problem with what I say can choke on ice cold salty ass hog balls.
Rihanna has not outsold Beyonce WW, she has not won 16 grammys, she has not performed in for the fist black president and we can go on and on but whats the damn point all stans of others will do is discredit her achievements. Beyonce stop being an IT girl along time ago she is now a ICON and date i say it future legend and will be remembered and known for her amazing performances. Rihanna has good songs that go #1 and will hold that title but she will never reach that status that Beyonce is on. W can talk about sales but lets not because everyone has a peak and im tired of fans like you that make it seem like what these women have done in the past means nothing. Mariah and Whitney both have hard times selling like they used to but they are still legends from what they acomplished that no one else will.
That’s not true. Brandy’s lowest selling album “human” sold 73k in it’s first week and New life sold 70k in it’s first week. Seeing as how r&b sold much better in 2008 (when human was released) that actually speaks volumes about Monica’s longevity in the industry.
Excuse me, but this is about Brandy and her album. Not about the immature behavior of some of her online fans. Karma isn’t going to punish Brandy because other people are using her name in vein to be d****. Brandy’s fans today are no more cocky today than they were during her Never Say Never era. Every single popular, or once popular, pop star has shithead fans who need to shut the f*** up. Getting mad at the actual artist because of their fans behavior is stupid.
If Brandy’s album does poorly, it’ll be because either the album itself is poor or because she and her people do a poor job promoting it. It won’t be because fate decided to punish other people by using her as the whipping girl.
Your correct and have a valid point.
Then why don’t you do this page a favor and keep it about Brandy. Stop worrying about what other people are doing, and just mind your business.
Brandy fans have a reason to celebrate her her life is a true testimony to human strength. IMO, Brandy doesn’t have anything to prove sales wise, she’s already sold over 40 million albums, she literally does NOT need to sell another copy, she is set for life trust! We have no reason to hide under a rock and feel ashamed as this is a triumphant victory for her, regardless of the numbers.
Truthfully, RCA has been very cautious and last minute with her promo but considering the state of the industry, the decline of R&B music selling, and Brandy’s 4 year break from music, these aren’t bad number for her at all, very respectable IMO. Anyone who says it’s underperforming because of the content of the album has either not heard the album, or maybe don’t like or, or maybe you’re one of MANY who simply does not understand what she’s trying to do in music. But that is okay, I wouldn’t expect many casual fans or listeners to really get her.
This is about Brandy, and these are just predictions. But the fact that she’s drawn so much attention to this post gives me hope that this has potential to be an extended era.
The blogs perpetuate idiocracy as well. Everything isn’t just about sales. It’s about quality. Brandy is a great artist. Y’all act ike the album has been out for a while. Relax. The key is to support the r&b artist. Everyone is always putting up baseless stuff. Support the music or shut up. It’s funny how people complain about r&b but they don’t support it. Ridiculous.
But not to digress, but Sam is really a jackazz, had this been the great Mariah that put up numbers like this he would have made a whole novel about it. This site is full of shyt. When you go gold/platinum that is called moving units dummy. Brandy will be good.
Everyone I know (including myself) purchased the album from iTunes. Unfortunately, those sales aren’t included on Billboard. 🙁 Oh well it’s a great album and she needs to release Wildest Dreams NOW!!! What is she waiting for?
Ummmm WTF. All sales are included unless its from a GHETTO HOOD RAT RECORD STORE that isnt registered with Soundscan
BILLBOARD JUST CHANGED THEIR METHODOLOGY TO INCLUDE DIGITAL SALES.
I give Brandy a hard time but i don’t won’t her to flop! She deserve a chance like anyone else! I just think the songs could of been better! She should do a re-release! She needs to do songs that she feels is right! I know stars want too please her fans but it’s time for her too do her! Now lets be real Put it Down! No No! Ok i’m not trying to start s*** but Brandy would of RIP Schoolin Life by BEY! That f****** beat goes awfff! Go listen to it and think of Brandy singing it and get back with me!
She doesnt need a re-release. The album is great the way it is. The songs are heartfelt and still current and innovative. She did songs she DID feel were right?! So wtf are you talking about? In fact, she felt Human was an album that she felt wasnt right so what makes you think shed make the same mistake again? And she doesnt need to sing Schoolin Life or any other song by any other artist. Beyonce is Beyonce and Brandy is Brandy. The problem isnt the content. The problem is fake ass fans not buying or standing by a good project. Its fans like you who wont let Brandy do her when she sayd ad proves shes doing it. No one ever has faith in her. I bet if this album was predicted to sell 200k, you wouldnt be saying half…no all of which…you are saying now.
I bet the Navy is pissed that even though R**** is far more popular than Brandy, Brandy still manages to out chart her…smh
Funny how these stans compare beyonce to white women who are shutting the whole industry down try comparin beyonce to other black women. Adele has a universal album but she is also a white woman and Taylor is a white woman doing pop country music. Rihanna tours dont do well or her album sales in the US and she doesnt get respect frm her peers yet and still she is compared to a woman that doesn. Rihanna, Adele and Gaga all stan for Beyonce so for stans of those women to belittle her it is wuite entertaining. And the starz need to just stop it at this point you guys are looking more and more disgruntled.
WTF i this s***! Damn i’m pissed the f*** off. I know people did not just s*** on my girl brandy like that. Fake as fans posing in target with brandy cd, and probably put that s*** back before they left. That’s f***** up i just feel so damn hurt by this. * pulls shoe strings from shoe* i want to die, just like R&B…
OMG you Brandy stans are crazier than i thought
lmao!
SMH. Typical BeYAWNce stans can’t even let Brandy have her shine. These sales are pitiful but at least its’s decent. (SEE: Nelly Furtado) to say that Brandy has about 50k loyal fans out there is anout right.
On another note, I like how your faves can miss being #1 by a wide margin, but Rihanna can consistantly open with ~200k and tal talk so much s*** because she had competition. Smh. Typical BIONCI stans. Every excuse for your fave stealing songs, concepts, looks, and choreography but no on else is allowed to be anything but perfect. Smh
Hush.
I am not a Beyonce stan but I’m not a hater either I bought and supported Brandy and this her album is amazing but I also love and support Beyonce, Monica and Jill Scott hence my name. I also feel like theres no originality anymore everyone takes from everyone beyonce is only singled out because when she does it its a hit and she makes it her own. She also tells fans where she takes things from and sometimes goes as far as working with the originators. Your beef with Beyonce and her stans is your own personal problem but everyone that doesnt hater her isnt a stan I dont love all her songs and everything she does so its whatever i look at her a a black woman that loves everyone, not a ho and keeps it cute all that extra s*** her stans create shouldnt fall on her as a person and performer.
I really want to know how do u predict sales over somethings that’s barely been released for 24 hours hell Beyonce did get her sales projections that early!! And brandy is international it already charted in France and Spain at the top!!! She did GMA she’s doing great promo and the ads 4 her album are all over the internet i be seen the commercial 4 it on bet and MTV!! The ppl who are calling brandy a flop are just jealous because the critics like it better than their faves! And they can’t give credit to where its dude its a great album you guys will deal!
For the US the HITS charts are usually spot on and her international sales didnt seem good at all either sad to say. I know the album is really good and the last album I enjoyed like this was Beyonces 4 album and Jill Scotts album. Brandys album is the best r&b album of this year by far but her fans didnt support it and it sucks.
Speak on what you know, and not on what you assume.
BECAUSE IT ALWAYS BEEN THAT WAY ! Expect her to do 65k more than 70k.
F*** this s*** i’m mad as f***. I’m about to download that b**** Tyler swift album…
lol gurl it ain’t that serious
lmfaoooo
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
😀
STARZ DONT LET THESE NUMBERS DISCOURAGE YOU. WE ALL KNOW R&B ISNT MAKING MONEY NOWADAYS…CHRIS BROWN, USHER, MONICA, MIGUEL AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF GREAT ARTISTS ARE GETTING LESS NUMBERS.
WHAT MAKES MONEY TODAY IS GOING ON TOUR AND THATS WHY BRANDY HAS BEEN WORKING ON HER PERFORMANCE. THATS WHY HER SONGS ARE S*** AND DANCING…..SHES GONNA DO VERY WELL HERE AND OVERSEAS WITH HER TOUR SO SHE WILL STILL REMAIN POPULAR. SHES ALSO GOING TO BE ACTING. SHE WILL HAVE A BETTER SHOT WITH HER NEXT ALBUM AFTER GAINING MORE PR. HAVE HOPE!!
the only failure i see is the fact that when everyone sees these numbers they automatically give up on her as if these number prove her worth. I understand record sales but as long as she continues to keep peroforming relaesing material keeping her face out there to; 1 Help reestablish who she is to the public 2 promote the record and the fan have to keep interest dont be boo hooin over something that isnt final just because of first week.
And another thing 83 that’s a higher grade than any Beyonce Monica Rihanna trey album ever!!! Her album is the best critically acclaimed r&b album since frank ocean his singles or album isn’t really doing good but ppl are still going crazy over this man yea sure ppl are not buying it now but their music will stand the test of time when you’re music is good who gives a f*** about your sales only in the 90s the sales would match how good a certain album is nowadays if ppl like lmfao gets gold or platinum that’s means their music is the best get your damn life two eleven may have a rusty start but it will eventually do big numbers that’s what great artist do they sell overtime ppl need to get out of this yolo s*** and live 4 tomorrow you’re not gonna be 18 forever
HAVE A SEAT ABOUT SOME DAMN 83 WHEN ITS ONLY BEEN 4 CRITICS WHO REVIEWED HER ALBUM FOR METACRITIC…
4 ALONE HAS 18 CRITICS WHO RATED THE ALBUM AN 80 OR HIGHER…
OBVIOUSLY YOUR DUMBASS DIDN’T STAY IN SCHOOL LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW AVERAGES…
umm metacritic gave beyonce a 73 on 4 thats her highest grade on a damn album!!! brandy usually gets 70 or up on her album and ppl didnt really like 4 or went raving mad over it it was just a regular album frank ocean got more positive reviews because his album sounds like an album not a bunch of tracks slapped and rushed on a record like some people’s album
73 OUT OF AN AVERAGE OF 35 CRITICS WHO REVIEWED IT… HAVE A SEAT….
HUMAN IS AT 67…
AFRODISIAC IS AT 73 FROM 14 CRITICS REVIEWING IT… DAMN…
FULL MOON IS AT 60… WHICH NONE OF BEYONCE ALBUMS HAVE BEEN RATED THAT LOW…
WHERE DOES BRANDY ALBUMS USUALLY GETS 70 OR HIGHER AT??? ONLY 3 ALBUMS BEEN REVIEWED ON METACRITIC…
4 WAS NAMED ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS BY A FEMALE OF ALL TIME…
SO YEAH…
YOU CAN TRY TO TALK ALL THAT B******* BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY… ITS ALL LIES YOU’RE POSTING…
brandys two eleven has a score of 83 whether you like or not its the facts and you will deal and beyonce best album by a female in R&B MUSIC not even that overall music lets try that again sweetie your clearly one of those deluded stans
Looking over these comments, I’ve come to the conclusion that R&B is dead due to these stans wars. I’ve done it and admit my guilt. In current times, people say I like this person so I won’t support anyone else. Instead, we should be saying, R&B needs to come back let me support everyone who is trying to save this genre. Therefore, I’m going to make a point to support as many R&B artists as I can. I’ll still throw shade every now and then but I have to spend my money on my people and get them back on the charts with sales.
I completely agree but R&B music is just so boring now. With thus economy I’m not spending my money on music unless it’s good. Miguel, Marsha Ambrosius, Jhene Aiko have/will get my money for their albums. That’s because they make refreshing R&B music. To me, Brandy’s album was bland. No catchy hooks, bland beats, and some of the lyrics are so basic I can’t even believe that Brandy would sing it and think people would be ok with it. I expect more from her and she let me down with this album.
Although i do love the album, her unreleased songs over the past four years had a feel to them, a different feel, a unique one, a feeling that i started to like while listening to her, she kind of went backwards for me with Two Eleven which has a full moon and afrodisiac mixed in together.
How high and Make believe deserved to be on this album,….i think….
But a great album is a great album nonetheless and i’d like to see it succeed more.
I was really anticipating this album after hearing Silent Night and the other tracks you’ve mentioned. But this album is nothing like those songs. I just didn’t like this project.
Perfect Love, home, who is the loser now, drum life, i don’t care, lifeguard and the list goes on. The chorey chorus and stacy barthe thing was really defining a new Brandy sound for me and her stuff with timbaland too.
Omg that’s tragic
I would have guessed 50,000-80,000 but that’s still close to what was predicted. I still think ‘Human’ was a great album though!
Where are the starz now that was talkin all that s*** when Monica’s “New Life” did this kind of numbers first week out. Two Eleven is a FLOPPPP. I knew it from the jump, she better be glad Put It Down did what it did, because this album would have sold even lower. Monica did her numbers without a “Radio hit” and it was straight off her true core fanbase. Dont get me wrong tho Brandy’s album is cute and she sounds good on some songs. KARMA is a b****. You c** drops just need to support real music and stop bootleggin s***.
PS i dont c how or WHY Wildest Dreams was chosen as her 2nd single.
Ch, please! For Brandy’s standards this is within the same ballpark as Human four years ago. Not so much for your fave, whose last album sold 180K first week, and then for this album she only pushed 69K…Hmm, sounds like monica’s the bigger flop here!
Brandy’s Two Eleven has a higher Metacritic score than ANY monica album ever released, so she must be doing something right!
The comments on this post are f****** hilarious tho>
I see your name on grape juice all the time bruh. and I think you just a natural born Hater. But hell, I guess your day would be perfect if you wasnt.
@IDK, Don’t be mad, it’s the truth u are hilarious! All yall some hypocrites!lol
@Idk im glad I draw your interest cause I could careless about anyone on this site or care what their doing but I’m the s*** so yea I expect you to follow my every move xo
Interesting how all these “starz” talked s*** about Monica’s New Life but Brandy’s album is predicted to sell less LOL! #teammonica Two eleven is boring as hell. She doesn’t hit one high note the whole album smh
You flop ass monocant stans better take your stupid ugly asses back to your copy and past Brandy Source site, monicant source. I see y’all fuming cause Brandy once again made a better album than monocant, hell I’d be mad too if my fave made forgettable, boring, bland, dry R&B music. Human outsold new FLOP, so shut that lying ass s*** up! Monica is no one’s vocalist, she’s one dimensional, she only has 2 octaves and she can only sing two notes, and she’s hardly good at doing that! Deal with the fact that your flop ass fave will never ever see Brandy in life, now go play with a loaded gun ugly, you’re f****** dismissed stage left!
Well, monica strains so………..
All the haters are going to feel real stupid when she sells close to 200 thousand copies or more this week. Watch. Brandy isnt just buzzin. She setting off alarms. Ive been hearing and seeing her name everywhere this week so far. So just watch. 😉
Lmfaoooooooooooooooooooo please don’t hold your breath waiting for that 200K. Your dumb ass will be dog s*** dead if you do.
Kii
Monica wins, again.
Kii
The award for best flop album of course.
How much has new FLOP sold to date?
What was new FLOP’s Metacritic score?
What celebs were raving about new FLOP?
Take your ghetto, musty, dusty, crusty ass back to monica source, ugly frail sickle cell anemic looking f*****.
B****, New Life had sold 116k since being released in April. What has she won with those sales ? Dont do it. _/
Dead @ you shading monigga. I don’t dislike monica, I actually LOVE miss thang and After the storm. I just hate monica’s fans cause they don’t like Brandy. LOL it’s nothing personal. But I know none of y’all trying to say Brandy flopped…monigga flopped…her last album sold 180K first WEEK…her new album came out six MONTHS ago, and she’s just over 100K, smh! poor her!
Brandy REALLY deserves to win right now, more than anyone in the industry currently and i will feel so incredibly sorry for her if she doesnt. I know she worked extremely hard on this album and i know it also has a lot of sentimental value and the quality of work shows. It is an excellent album. But is sad cuz I was just telling my friend I love Brandy’s new album and she was like, “Brandy has a new album?”. Lack of promotion and lack support from R&B listeners is why R&B is in a dying state commercially and it really upsets me. This is NOT the news I wanted to read. I pray she pushes at least 90-100k by week’s end. Brandy does not derserve a flop this time around. Honest truth.
honeT you better pray the album eventually sells 100k
She will!
So working extremely hard on an album means to have everyone write your songs and produce it while you just sit back and sing? Oh.
And why are we making this a Monica vs. Brandy thing? That is so 1998. So many pressed individuals in this forum.
Y’all do know that brandy sold more than Monica right y’all do know if the boy is mine is really the only successful album she has
Miss Thang?
might i also add, brandy had writing credits on only 3/15 tracks on the album. i dont feel guilty for torrenting it. the album was decent, nothing amazing though.
I completely agree! Her fans are talking like this album is the second coming and it’s really just a decent album. When it leaked, I downloaded it and listened to it. I couldn’t even get through the album because it was so biting and forgettable. So I deleted it from my computer. Then it kept getting rave reviews and I gave it another chance yesterday, still nothing. When you listen to good music from people like Marsha Ambrosius and Miguel, it’s hard to support that basic crap she put out. The only memorable songs are Put It Down and Let Me Go and that’s sad because those are not strong songs! She didn’t write much of anything on her album so it’s her fault. She put too much trust in others instead of herself. She got Rico Love and Sean Garret to write and produce the bulk of the album. A huge mistake. That’s why it all sounds the same.
I want my damn money back
The album is phenominal give it a chance it really is good. Keep listening. It will grow on you. Listen to her layers and background vocals more than the main you will see the talent and charisma in her voice
I personally think she will sell at least 100k. The week is not over yet, and she’s got a bunch of promo to do. This is what I had to say about this sales predictions: http://justifymysound.b*******.ch/2012/10/brandy-covers-vibe-vixen-sales.html
I agree with you, my expectations are a little higher but I do think she will sell over 100k copies.
No it wont. This is Hits Daily Double, they are not wrong ! What are you wishing for ? A miracle ? Sit _/
Why is everyone saying this is unfair? Brandy made her bed with this flop album.by not promoting it enough and now she’s paying for it.
Nobody should be obligated to buy a CD from a singer they don’t care about, get over it. Nobody is checking for Brandy anymore. She’s boring!
You sound crazy, its only day 2.
why do i have the feeling that r&b will be “revived” by a “soulful” white singer who ends up selling a ton of albums and opens the door for other white acts to take over r&b?
JoJo sings R&B and she’s very well underated.
They already tried that s*** w/ Adele.. she is NOT r&b!!!
i’m thinking this person will be kind of like lady gaga, a packaged label creation, but more conventionally attractive and without crazy costumes. basically do for r&b what gaga did for dance pop. yes pop existed b4 gaga but what i mean is really open the floodgates for r&b to take over the airwaves again.
i’ll see in a couple of years if i was right.
Imagine the number that commented on this article! You all commented because you are a fan! Stop this and use your energy to BUY the records! It’s not too late! Eveyone is right! So let’s support all over again! Buy Again if you have! Peace Outb
I’m sitting over here in TEARS laughing at y’all! What are y’all? 12 years olds?! You guys sound STUPID cursing each other out and calling each other juvenile names over album sales! Two Eleven is a great album and I’m sure that it’ll be a good seller! I haven’t purchased a Brandy album since 2002 and I’m very impressed! This album has a lot of potential hits and it will sell well with the right promo! It’ll also sell by word of mouth! Monica and Brandy are too dang old to have immature stans! Wow!!!
its a shame cos Two Eleven in GOOD!!! *SIGH*
Dead @ RCA firing Brandy’s A/R. F** thought she would sell. Kii
I will cackle when she loses her recording contract, for the third time in a row. What kind of shade.
B****, there should’ve been better A&R to promote FLOP life.
Now they’re saying Brandys album is projected to sell 25k first week. I am so done. Kiiiiiii
I HOPE IT MAKES IT TO NUMBER ONE! I JUST LOVE HER AND THE ALBUM IS AMAZING!!!
Sad that Ashanti got 2 #1 albums and Rihanna n brandy dont got nun!!!! Lol beyonce has 4 #1s lol Ashanti n King Bee doin this s*** they are the best and Ashanti might cant sing fahh resl but damn she managed to get 2 #1s lol
but brandy never say never sold more than beyonce and ashanti combined and it debut at #2 opp!
WRONG sweetheart lmao where do you people get your info in the US NSN is certified 5x platinum just like Beyone DIL as it stands today 4.5 (for Never Say Never) 4.8 for DIL
and Brandy has sold over 30 million albums. lets not even go into singles. Number one albums don’t mean anything.
By James Aldean – Broken Bow do you mean Jason Aldean – Black Train? wtf.
I don’t see why people are saying it’s a bad album because Brandy didn’t write much of it…Whitney Houston wasn’t a songwriter, she had people begging to write songs for her, and she was one of the greatest singers ever.
Brandy’s voice is soothing, and she has a unique way of telling a story with her voice. That’s why people love to have her sing their songs, or why people want to write songs for her. The fact is, no one has a voice like Brandy, she has her own niche, her own style. And anyone else speaking about the album not being good, just don’t like Brandy, but you like her enough to comment on this page about her! Her metacritic score is 83/100 and it’s one of the best R&B albums of the year right up with Miguel and Frank Ocean. Stop hating.
Ok n ashanti first album sold 503k in its first week sales which is the highest in rnb sales still and sold over 4.3 million copies worldwide so basicly they in the same era.!!!! Ilove Brandy but this album could have been bttr tho
And this was what? 10 years ago? It’s 2012 honey. Ashanti is totally irrelevant. =======>
HA! YOU BETTER LET HAVE HUNEY!
& Ashanti is in my Brandy Voice “Hardly Breathing” in the music era as of today yesterday and a year ago… Catch It!
In 2012 people are still doing the Monica Brandy comparisons, SMH. Get a life people! Those ladies respect each other and they’re living their dreams regardless of all this nonsense talk about flops and first week sales.
This Is the Album of the year!
She flopped…get over it. Brandy fans are some delusional mokeys. Monica is a bigger adult star and Brandy was a bigger child star. She’s a f****** flop as an adult star.
MANica flopped three times over! Monigger stans are the scum of the earth. Nobody likes you deluded fuckers! B****! Who sold more overall? Brandy! Dead @ Brandy outselling that hood rat b**** with ONE album! Hell, I’d be mad too. MANica’s looks flop, her album flopped, her music flops, her lyrics flop, and her vocals are an EPIC flop. Deal with that! Now take your coontastic greasy ghetto ass back to the slums of ATL where you belong!
DUMB B****- BRANs NUMBERS ARE HADLY ANY BETTER THAN MONICAS so called flop album New Life
BRANDY will never see STILL STANDING like numbers again in her career. Much less the sucess of Everything To Me
HAVE SEVERAL SEATS, my dear f***
I don’t believe that Brandy will sale 60-70k in the first week. Everyone has been waitin on Brandy including her fans even celebs. I think she’ll sell in the 100k in her first week.. If she doesn’t then we know why, cause the fake fans didn’t buy the album..
COSIGN 🙂
Finally got my copy of the album in the mail this morning. I can honestly say that the entire album is FIRE!!! I truly love every song on the album; including not such thing as too late which had to grow on me. People really need to get this album, forget it just being good R&B music, it’s good music full stop.
HELLS YES IT IS! THE ALBUM HAS A SOUND OF NONE OTHER!
If Two Eleven gets 4 singles, it will get more than 500k units. Her label just needs to keep supporting her and to release 4 singles/videos more a tour. That’s all it needs.
Have some faith, guys. First week is just one week.
Honest I Love Brandy she is my Fav.. Love Beyonce Rihanna and so many others. Fans name to jus enjoy good music these Artist i all Fans of brandy and she as well.There cannot only be one female artist they all contribute 2 much each have their own style come one people..I cannot stop listening 2 Da Album. Tis is Artistry those Runs vocals so power gives me chills so proud. No such thing as 2 late is awesome Beat is crazy Rico love did his things. If ur in love or waiting 4 love. fallin in love or jus needin 2 know people still believe in gettin 2 know a person b4 s** its a song on there 4 u. Two Eleven is R&B @ its best.. Love me some Brandy.
I love the album bought it first thing I enjoyed every track. Paint Tthis House, Slower, and Do You Know What You Have are my favorite tracks……I personally dont compare her to any other artist because she has a different no one has a sound like her and I can appreciate that.
EVERY SINGLE ON THAT DOPE ALBUM 🙂
I AGREE!
SHE IS AMAZING!
I’m sorry , i found the album dull. I hope its a grower cause i love Brandy + i really missed the 90s R&B vibe , just a bit more colorful . The biggest disappointment was the Bangladesh track (and the deluxe album cover)!
WELL UNLESS YOU ARE A OURE HATER OTHERWISE I DON’T ACTUALLY KNOW THE KINKD OF ALBUM YOU’VE BEEN LISTENING TO DEF NOT TWOELEVEN.SMH BTICHPLEAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
This album is off the chain!!! Nice vocal delivery…
I like every song.. I am not sure about the order
of the tracks. I would of put: put it down as the 1st
or the 2nd track… but other than that nice R&B
songs!!! …. also a little pop with an edge….
LOVING IT TOO 🙂
The predictions were wrong. The album is on track to debut with over 100,000 in the first week.
that’s what Im reading too
if not 100k, really close!! so deserved!!! fingers crossed
It is well deserved! I’m praying that it does reach 100K or more! She deserves it! BRANDY YOU WILL WIN!
I can’t with these Stan’s . I’ll be honest I don’t Stan for any artist. But in being real I purchased this album but found it to be okay. Purchased trey ‘s that was good , purchased usher his was good, Monica’s album was very underrated didn’t skip one song, also loved Estelle and Melanie Fiona’s album. I think brandy did just okay because I have to skip songs to get through her album. Best R&B male 2012 is between usher, frank, trey and Chris . Female is between Melanie, Monica, Mary and Estelle.
Eggs on so many people’s faces on this post.LOL. They predicted 60k and she sold OVER 60K with 50% of the sales in. Yesssssssssssss for exceeding predictions and gettin the last laugh. #TwoEleven
Yes only 50% of sales are in and shes at 62k…..word to the wise…don’t put so much stock in expected sales. Bran’s going to do over 100k with these numbers already in! She deserves it. Two Eleven is a really good contemporary album.
her FINAL count is 66,856AND she will be number 3, do you know what that equals??
A FLOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP instead of 2 eleven, it should have been called 2nd Flopinarow
Man! We as Black People can do better than this! why cant we support our people! This country singer has 350-450K or more albums being sold! SMH Brandy has managed to put out a solid album! Go out and buy this album Folks! You will not be let down… Does this include the itunes and amazon download figures as well? cause if so thats a damn shame! Maybe it will push more albums threw out the month, hopefully it will cause this album has to be stamped as an Approved HIT ALBUM of 2012! LOVE YOU BRANDY! KEEP IT UP AND WE NOT LETTING NUMBERS RUIN THIS AMAZING PROJECT YOU”VE PUT TOGETHER!
